Not quite sure where to post this...

The focus slide (it isn't a helical) on my lens is getting rather stiff and jerky. Dismantling the lens barrel it looks as if there are three 'lugs' that control the slide and a tiny wheel at the bottom that takes the weight. OK so that is not a particularly good description but if you know this kind of lens you'll know what I am talking about...

Presumably I need to clean and lubricate these with something appropriate? Is there anything else that I should be looking at?

Thanks

Michael
